I got a call from my doc today.
The very, very good PET scan I had on Monday showed decreased hyper metabolic areas everywhere when compared to previous examinations.
I still have a tumor at the aortic bifurcation, but it is in an area safe enough to discuss cutting back my chemo therapy.
Originally when I decided to treat my cancer as chronic I'd envisioned periods of rest, with NO CHEMO.
This isn't the same vision my doc had.
The options we're now discussing are between a half dose of velbam every two weeks or every month.
When I was on the phone, I was ambivalent.
Now, I'm pretty confident I'm up for the once a month dose.
I'm exhausted.
I've slept all morning, every morning, since monday.
I don't want to have to do that every other weeks.
Luckily I have been able to enjoy my evening.
Thank God for small favors.
